Why Crimson US boarding school admissions program?
U.S. boarding and day schools have a complicated, challenging admissions process that can be overwhelming for students, particularly as they try to balance their applications with their schoolwork and personal development. From intensive standardized testing to demanding essay requirements, school visits, and in-person interviews, the admissions cycle requires the highest quality work and fullest investment a student and their family can give.
Our goal is to inspire and support students to reach their highest potential, serving as teachers, mentors and role models to enable students to learn more and perform better than they thought possible.
